You need to set up a calming routine for work/home

Do your feelings typically subside once you start working? Do you otherwise like your profession, coworkers, boss, etc.?

Many years ago I had similar feelings and it was because I hated my job. A lot of it for me was just not knowing what I wanted to really do. It helped me to stay really busy on Sunday’s, especially in the evening so I was distracted from thinking about it too much.

Rmb I hate my job, it is the root cause of my depression abd anxiety. Like I mentioned I have tried many different jobs and I always end up feeling the same. It subsides a bit when I get to work, but I almost constantly have knots in my stomach. It isn't healthy.

gentle empathy, fruity loop. i've ended up hating every job i've ever had, even when i've had jobs that started out as "dream jobs." after i got my ultimate dream job, retirement, i soon found myself hating the hard work of filling those empty days.

sigh. . . wherever i go, there i am.

i've since been called out of retirement for my second parenting career and am beginning to wonder if the secret to happiness might start with finding the joy in working with whatever life sends me. just wondering. . . bigger fact is, i miss retirement, long lonely days and all.

Then it might just come down to learning ways to manage and cope with the stress and anxiety if no matter what the job you are going to dread it.

You are not alone. Many feel this way. Is there something fun you can do Sunday evenings? Before my child, I would drink wine and watch movies or binge watch a show. Now with my child who is young and who has no concept of time. I dont think twice on work and focus on her because it is fun for me. Just because it is Sunday night doesn't mean you can't do anything fun for you? It may take a while for the anxiety to go away or it may hit right away.

If you think about it, many don't put much efforts into work on Mondays and Fridays. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the busiest and sometimes Thursdays.

I am not a fan of my job anymore, but getting a new one won't solve anything. I just follow what others do, work slow on Mondays, crank it up for 3 days, then slow down on Friday.

I am also trying to do more stuff in the week that brings joy. Like every other Monday I give my flowers a fertilizer to produce more flowers, gives me something to look forward too! Try something like that too if you can during the week.

So when you experience this anxiety what aspects of work does it tend to focus on? What's different about working two days in a row? I'd suggest you try to identify what it is about work that triggers these fears.
Also have you tried therapy? A life coach?
